Covered shorts. Made just 2 points. I don't believe bears are capable of selling. I will stay flat for now. Denleo

It is just falling to find buyers probably though... ... except for energy issues, it is going vertical up...

Why ? I don't see any reason to exit. I am still holding my shorts.

Ooops! Now the energy turns around, the service stocks are also doing very poorly, I think this can get further legs... I will cover some here to book the profits a bit...

I think too soon. The 60 min BB squeeze on the SPX is resolving downward, suggesting yet lower trading.

Agree, vix has just left the gate. ES 1440 should be reachable on this run. Some retracements are bound to happen along the way.

I am covering the 70% of my shorts, although RUT is leading it also stopped at the last week's support despite the trendline break, the volume declined on the last leg lower too. My average price was too low to make much profit. I think I will short a bounce or a rally and I don't want to hold much ahead of the Fed minutes although I think it should sell more...
